Chapter 78 Thanks List 2 Big Sister
The river, several meters wide, flowed slowly down from the endless sky like a giant silver dragon, its immense power seemingly capable of swallowing the entire world. Countless skeletons and remnants of spirits floated on the surface, appearing particularly eerie and terrifying in the dim light, like countless wronged souls silently recounting tragic tales of the past. These skeletons and remnants swayed gently with the current, as if they might break free at any moment and rush towards the shore.
Judging solely by its appearance, the river's magnificent spectacle is indeed awe-inspiring. The surging water seems to possess boundless power, inspiring reverence. However, upon closer inspection, one can detect an indescribable stench emanating from the river—a mixture of putridity, blood, and death, utterly repulsive.
Just then, a blue-robed fish-man with a blue face, fangs, red hair, and bristling gills slowly emerged from the river. He was tall and robust, exuding a mysterious and eerie aura.
He clutched a bronze bell tightly in his hand, its surface engraved with strange patterns, as if bearing the marks of time. His steps were heavy and slow, each step leaving a deep imprint on the ground, as if he were carrying a heavy burden.
He walked slowly ashore and came to stand before Ling Yunxiao. Ling Yunxiao stood there, quietly watching the fish-man. For some reason, he felt that the fish-man's gills seemed more melancholy than when he last saw him. The once bright red gills now drooped slightly, as if they had lost their former vitality, revealing a faint trace of sadness.
"The Lord of the Thousand Chariot River Underworld, Fish Gill, has seen the Book of Humans in charge."
Fish Gills said respectfully, his voice low and hoarse, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat.
"Lord Fish Gill, it's been a long time. What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood," Ling Yunxiao asked with concern, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Fish Gills sighed deeply and said helplessly:
"Alas... Who could have imagined that the once pristine River of Elements would turn into this? It possessed the power of life and death purification, and should have been a sacred place, yet for some reason it has become incredibly foul-smelling."
Now, even in the netherworld, I can't hold my head up as a fish. I used to have hundreds of thousands, even 80,000 water monkeys under my command, who followed me in my conquests, brave and fearless. But now, less than 10,000 remain; they were all driven away by that stench. Alas…”
At this point, a painful light flashed in Fish Gill's eyes. He seemed to see his once glorious power now in ruins, and his heart was filled with regret and helplessness.
As Fish Gill sighed, King Face had already led the giant Medusa down to Fish Gill's front.
"These sirens are quite impressive. How many are there?"
When Fish Gill saw Medusa, his eyes immediately lit up. In an instant, he thought of how to solve the problem of his Thousand Chariots River's unbearable stench and get the sea monster to clean it up!
If the sirens are unwilling to work, then kill them and bleed them out. Sirens' blood is azure blue and has a miraculous effect on cleaning waters!
"There are dozens of Medusas inside. It seems like a whole tribe of Medusas lives here! I wonder how they managed to sneak in and survive until now without being discovered!"
Seeing the fish gills' eyes light up, Ning Liang immediately spoke up to explain. Although he didn't know the fish gills' strength, he could guess from Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian's actions that the newcomer was extraordinary.
Fish Gills walked towards Medusa with a smile, his eyes gleaming with determination, and slowly spoke:
"I hereby announce to everyone present that from this day forward, Medusa's status in my heart will be second only to Varuna, who gave me the Elemental River, and she will officially become my second-in-command!"
Fish Gills raised the ancient, mysterious bell high in his hand. The bell gleamed with a dark luster in the sunlight, as if it contained boundless power. He gently shook the bell, and the clear, melodious sound echoed throughout the space before landing precisely on the head of the Medusa before him.
However, the Medusa clearly hadn't had time to react. Completely bewildered, it wondered why its prized petrifying power had no effect on this seemingly ordinary fish-man. In its astonishment, it suddenly found its body beginning to tremble uncontrollably, then gradually being controlled by the strange power released by the Ancient Bell, slowly shrinking. Every change in its skin seemed to tell a story of helplessness and struggle, yet it couldn't break free from the Ancient Bell's powerful restraints.
Finally, after a fierce battle, the once invincible Medusa transformed into a dazzling streak of light, like a shooting star, mercilessly drawn into the deep recesses of the ancient bell, disappearing forever from this world, leaving only the ancient bell still swaying slightly.
